I saw the X-COPS open for GWAR once. I don't know how those two bands can stand each other.

I've seen Gwar many, many times,including the very last show at the original 9:30 Club in DC with the Meatmen. Too damn good. They used to just be fun, but at some point over the years they actually got good at playing music too.

frepnog:Gunny Highway: Their early albums have an awesome punk sound (I dont know if you like punk) and are great.

i have been a GWAR fan, since, well, since GWAR became a thing. I wouldn't call anything they ever did "punk". Their early records were more a "we don't really know how to play our instruments" kind of sound that evolved into a sort of metal.

GOR GOR!

Once you get past the bullshiat posturing and angst, isn't "we don't really know how to play our instruments" kind of what punk really was?

I saw one of their shows in December of 2008 and it was really weird. The whole thing was a mockup of the 2008 election seasons, with the candidates wrestling each other instead of having a vote. The final battle came down to Hillary Clinton vs. John McCain, and McCain won. Note that I said December above. You know, well after the election. I guess they just didn't want to rewrite it because Obama's head was rigged to pop off like a rockem sockem robot, but McCain's wasn't?

/ Yes, I am the nerd who expects historical accuracy from a GWAR show. What of it?
